  • Title: Massive gabapentin and presumptive quetiapine overdose.
    Author: Spiller HA, Dunaway MD, Cutino L.
    Journal: Vet Hum Toxicol; 2002 Aug; 44(4):243-4. PubMed ID: 12136976.
    Abstract:
    Previous reports of gabapentin overdose have described mild symptoms of somnolence, ataxia and slurred speech. Quetiapine has produced a false positive for cyclic antidepressants on immunoassay drugscreens. Quetiapine overdose is associated with coma, QTc prolongation and hypotension. We report a case of massive gabapentin and presumptive quetiapine overdose with the highest recorded serum gabapentin concentration (104.5 u/ml) associated with coma, respiratory depression requiring mechanical ventilation, and hypotension.
